Amazingly, the 1963 LP of John Williams playing "The Segovia 20," as this set of etudes by Fernando Sor is known, was never released on CD. I bought my first of three copies of the LP around 1970, but I just now learned (Wiki, where else) that 1963 was the year the LP came out. My latest copy I had to scour to Web to find sometime in the past decade, but it arrived brand-new on the Westminster label. Thank you, as I am grabbing these uploads for a playlist on my Youtube channel!

Congratulations. These studies are really fantastic, specially the first one played. It seems almost divine to me. Very good interpretation. Thanks.

from Jose Sepulveda, the Hermeterec........The Beethoven of the guitar! Even the formidable Dionisio Aguado admitted that he was no match for Sors as a composer and Aguado was a VERY good composer himself. The gracious Sors who was no mean guitarist himself rejoined that he wished that he could play as well as could Aguado. A mutual admiration society! At any rate they greatly respected each other as well they might have.
